Did you know that only 15% of contributors to Wikipedia are women?
  +
Did you know that women only appear in just over 20% of all images of human beings on Wikimedia Commons?
  +
Did you know efforts are happening around the world to address the “gender gap” on Wikipedia?
  +
  +
Join the Georgetown community to help close this gender gap on Wikipedia by increasing the representation of underrepresented groups — in both Wikipedia content and contributors — on topics such as women in politics, women in STEM, and women in the arts. There will be hands-on training provided by representatives from Wikimedia DC.
  +
  +
No Wikipedia editing experience necessary.
  +
  +
Bring your own laptop. Snacks will be provided.

This event is open to Georgetown Students, Staff, Faculty, and Alumni.

Did you know that less than 20% of biographies in English-language Wikipedia are about women? Help change that by joining the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum on March 27th for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. Attendees will edit and create Wikipedia articles inspired by the museum’s first digital exhibition, “Becoming Visible.”
  +
  +
This event will have two parts:
  +
1) Getting started with Wikipedia edits: 11am-12pm
  +
2) Wikipedia edit-a-thon: 12pm-2pm
  +
  +
Attendees can join us for one of both parts depending on their availability and experience with Wikipedia editing. New editors are encouraged to attend the introductory session at 11am.

|description = Wikipedia for Health and Safety Research and Data (WHSRD) will be a summit between the Wikimedia community and government agencies specializing in research or data collection. A "meeting of the minds," the event will make federal research agencies aware of Wikipedia's community and practices, while introducing Wikipedia's community to the resources that these agencies have to offer.
 
  +
Did you know that less than 20% of biographies in English-language Wikipedia are about women? Help change that by joining the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum on June 20th for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon. Attendees will edit and create Wikipedia articles inspired by the life and work of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker.
   
  +
Dr. Walker, the first woman to serve as a U.S. Army surgeon during the Civil War, a women’s rights advocate, and the only woman recipient of the Medal of Honor, is featured on a new quarter as part of the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters Program.

WHSRD is made possible through the support of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in its role as the agency designated, by statute, to lead national research and outreach for preventing work-related injury and illness.
